Hybrid View

Localhost across my home network

Hi i recently set up a new testing web server(iis6), but can't view any of my websites hosted on my mac (osx leopard). I can ping the server from the mac, and RDP with out any problems, just can't view any websites. i've tried using the ip of the server (192.168.1.15) in the browser the server name but still no luck. Does any body have any ideas?

Servers can only serve files that they have (direct) access to. If you can setup the website's directory (on the mac's drive) as a resource ON the WinDoze box, you're set, otherwise, you're SOL (@#$&#37; out of luck).

OR are you just trying to view the WinDoze files via LAN? If so, you'll need to setup the hosts file for the LAN address AND the IIS equivalent of VirtualHost for the "test domain."
